"Very detailed program notes were most welcome, describing Miranda Driessen’s piece Werden Menschen Bruder? Alle? (2019). The Dutch composer had responded to German pianist Susanne Kessel’s invitation for her huge Global Project” 250 Pieces for Beethoven, as a lead up to Ludwig’s 250th birthday anniversary. At times the work posed questions, elements of hope and joy, and doubts about the “universal brotherhood”.  Unusual in its shaping as a “sound sculpture”, this intriguing piece was given a sensitive and expressive performance, as new colour, poetry and a sense of introversion was combined with technical demands and new musical questions with no gratifying “classical” final cadences. It was played with much warmth and intuition."
